Impressive quality.I just bought this a week ago and havent looked back. Blue. I toss it in the washing (not running) machine to give the bass a bit more badump. For the price you cant go wrong. It sounds much better than the last speaker i had, cost more than the Flip 4. The battery lasts all day, depending on your volume settings. In this one week i have dropped it twice, off an pallet jack and another time jumping off the mast off a forklift. Id say 5ft. Still works like a charm. Not a scratch.
The sound is impressive. I listen to almost everything. Everything sounds good. Ill be ordering the camo flip 4 and a charge to have a nice system when i ride my bicycle.

Excellent so far, haven't thoroughly testedFirst of all, you have to be mindful of the sound settings on your device in order to prevent things such as text messages and other sounds from occurring while you are playing music. As always, don't blame the device for user error. Anyways, the Flip 4 sounds great and has really good bass. It has really good range, especially outside; I think I went way past the listed range and did not lose connection. I haven't tried to test the battery in one sitting, nor have I run water over it, nor have I set it out in the sun for long periods of time. I will when I go to the beach this summer. Build quality feels solid. If you lose the lanyard, you can easily replace it with a shoe string.

Needs longer battery lifeI bought one of these a couple of months ago for a river trip and the speaker was great! It was easy to use and had good sound quality however the battery life was very disappointing. I realize it says up to 12 hours depending on volume and content but I would still expect to get more than 4 hours of play time from it. I actually returned the first speaker because of it thinking it was defective of something. I bought another one hoping that the first one was defective. IT WASN'T. I think it would be better advertisement to say the battery last for 4 hours because that is the max amount of time I have been able to use the speaker.

Great Speaker!!This speaker for its size puts out amazing sound!! I have it with me when I am on the bike, working in the yard, or just around the campsite. I love the bass this speaker produces and the clarity of calls. I can stand 10 feet away and the person on the line can't even tell! I have left in outside for a few days sitting on end and when I went to retrieve it, shook the water out of the sub, and it played without issue! The speaker has amazingly loud sound so it can be put on one side of the yard, while working anywhere else and you be able hear it just fine.

Great speakerI purchased the Flip 4 less than a month ago. I purchased it mainly for a replacement speaker for when I' cycling because I don't like to wear headphones. I also use it when I'm working out in the garage, on runs and hikes. The clarity on it is awesome. For it to be a small speaker the bass on it is pretty good. The speaker will last for some time if you don't have it too loud. While cycling I had it to close to it's max because I was on loud and busy streets. The battery lasted for about 3 hours. I was pretty disappointed, but considering how loud and clear it was through the traffic, bike lanes along the river and in wide open areas I'm glad I purchased it.

Better Than Previously Owned SpeakersThis is better than other speakers I have owned, is louder, works better, and is better looking :) I love the fact that it goes under water, that really comes in clutch since I'm always at a lake or pool in the summer. It connects quickly using Bluetooth and the Connect+ features. It's small and light which makes it easier for travel. It's very loud so I can hear it through my whole house but it doesn't make the music sound gritty, still very clear at loud volumes. And honestly I just love the colors it comes in. Would definitely recommend to a friend! (Actually I already have)

Sound, bass, form factor! I have bought a speaker of another manufacturer, a good one, but after listening to my friends FLIP 4, I exchanged it without hesitation on FLIP 4! Deep, soft sound with excellent hard bass)))
QUESTION TO THE MANUFACTURER
Please explain the correct work of the FLIP 4 speaker when tested with pouring water on the membranes of passive speakers (in vertical position).
In some reviews water stands still on the top of the membranes of passive speakers, but in some it flows inside of the speaker and flows out from the lower membrane.
If the water flows inside of the speaker and flows out from the lower membrane - this means that the column is defective and the membranes are not sealed, so I can contact the seller to exchange the speaker ???

Excellent soundI have enjoyed this product since I removed it from the box! The sound is clear and can get as loud as I need it to be (which happens to be very loud). However, if you are all about the deep bass that rattles and makes it hard to understand the song, a portable speaker isn't what you are looking to purchase. I turn it on and can hear it from any room on the first level of my home. My husband and I used it to play music during our FB baby announcement and the sound was great! It looks awesome and the actual color of the speaker is vibrant so if you order a specific color be ready to get what you expect! This speaker is just what my family needed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I haven't used it for qwhile. Plugged it in and charged it but it doesn't pick up my Iphone music. Is there something I'm forgetting to do?

Is there a firmware update that will allow us to disable the loud startup sound? The on/off sounds are EXTREMELY loud and obtrusive and make it impossible to use the speaker in quiet settings.

Asked by: arz1992

The startup sound is fixed and it's volume cannot be minimized nor disabled. Your feedback will be communicated to the proper department(s) to improve on future product designs. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Is there an update planned to allow for disabling the unspeakably annoying startup and switch off sound? I can't use this machine in the evenings because I always wake up my wife after listening to music...

Asked by: jochen 37

Unfortunately the auto off feature and the startup sound cannot be disabled.

How do I connect to laptop. The cable that came with it seems to be just a charging cable.

Asked by: MRH1

You'll need to get a 3.5mm jack or connect it through bluetooth on your laptop.

Does this unit come with an AC/DC power adapter also. Seems there are a lot of issues with using the usb to fully power the unit.

Asked by: SnoAngel

The Flip 4 comes with a microUSB to USB cable and doesn't come with a power adapter since you can use you phones' USB charger to charge it with.

Is it posible to connect an Xtreme speaker with a flip4 speaker? (connect with connect+)

No.The JBL Xtreme uses Connect while the JBL Flip 4 uses the Connect + which are 2 different features. The Connect feature can only connect up to 2 devices at the same time while the Connect + can connect up to 100+ speakers at the same time with the same Connect +feature.
